First things first, welcome to FT. You will find out more information than you ever thought of just by looking here.
For long time stays, Homewood suites would be your best bet (There is one in Chesterfield about 20 miles outside of town) which would give you a stove, refrig and all the items to cook with. If you didn't want to do that, stay at the Embassy Suites. A lot larger area to live in and the breakfast in the morning saves a lot of money for extended periods.
